Mich., April 13. (I. N. S.) When seen here today Dr. Udo J. Wile of the University of Michigan hospital staff and professor of derma tology In the university, refused to make any statement whatever In de fense of the human vivisection expert ments which he carried on with six patients of the Michigan asylum for the insane, at Pont lac Tou may quote me as- having abso lutely no Interest in the matter of what people may wisfe to think regard ing' the experiment," said Dr. Wile While no other members of the hos pital staff would talk for publication without the consent of Df. Wile, the prevailing opinion among the scientific men on the campus seems to be in support of the stand of Dr. Wile that the experiments were Justified in the cause of science. .A colleague of Dr. Wile said: - . Patients Hopelessly Insane. "he patients were hopelessly Insane and it was anly a question of time when they would die from the paresis which had softened their brains. -The experiments of Dr.' Wile have made a great contribution to science, In that they showed plainly the cause of pa resis. The patients were not incon venienced In any way by the opera tion, which was absolutely painless. As to the question of whether or not their consent should have been gained or the consent of their relatives, the matter is one which concerns the superinten dent of the asylum. He said that in view of the connection between the state asylum and the university, the experiments as conducted were justi fied." The human vivisections which Dr. Wile conducted were explained by him aa follows: "The method of puncture Is as fol lows: The patient's head Is firstshaved and the anterior portion of the skull thoroughly painted with tincture of iodine. Method Is Explained. . "The , region is frozen with ethyl chloride and a revolving dental drill is thrust quickly through the skin and deeper tissues. A few rapid revolutions of the drill In the hands of an assist ant sufficed to pierce the skull. "The drill is removed and a long, thin needle is Inserted. This Is pushed firmly and deeply into the cortex. A syringe barrel is attached o the end of the needle. By suction, a small cyl inder, of brain substance containing both gray and white matter, is drawn Into the syringe, together with inore or less fluid from the ventricle. The operation is extremely simple. In all cases thus far examined, prac tically no pain has been experienced." Dr. Wile is considered as one of the best scientists on the university medi cal faculty, and has made many con tributions recently on questions relat ing to dermatology and kindred sub jects. Whitman Votes for THe Honor System If raeolty Is Willing, Tests and XUu-1 aminationa Will Be Conducted With-1 -out Watchers proposition Bis cussed. Whitman . College, 'walla Walla, Wash., Aprll13. By an overwhelming vote, the stdents of Whitman college voted to reeommend to the faculty the adoption at the honor system for con ducting examinations. - The ballot was taken following discussion of over an hour by the student body. But five negative votes were cast. The system as proposed by the un dergraduates provides that the monitor system of watching the students dur ing tests will be done away with, but that all students will be pledged not only not to cheat, but ta report any) otner student seen so aomg. xn stu dent body'e recommendation will be immediately filed with the faculty, and that body will likely take definite ac tion within a few days. A majority of the faculty members are sajd to be favorable to the students' recommenda tion. " . . - . - New Spring. Lingerie Waists ; Special $1.00'FrSrOny Waists that coiifci sell for 2.50.
